by the clique, and prices did 20 lower. August
led the weakness, but IL was followed shortly
afteiVard by July. June followed till it got
down to SIC, whom the clique gave Ia
their support, aud subsequent declines
IN ether options had no effect on
10 whatever. The low mark for August
was SIC. and for July S5Sc. Trailing was
fairly large for Saturday, but was much tighter
Than yesterday. Large receipts here and as
